UNM is offering face-to-face, hybrid, and fully UNM Online classes.
Please check the class schedule carefully to identify the campus room location/time as well as a possible remote (zoom) meeting time. Students in UNM Online classes, including Accelerated Online Programs, should check information about accessing the class and course materials carefully.
For class sections that do meet face to face, in-person meetings are scheduled in classrooms at regular occupancy and will be located in classroom buildings with reliable air exchange through HVAC systems.
UNM is requiring the COVID-19 vaccination and booster or an UNM approved exemption.
Masks are required indoors and in classrooms

The College of Pharmacy will have a modified schedule through at least Sunday, April 5th.
Doctor of Pharmacy students – In light of the evolving COVID-19 crisis and in an effort to maintain the health of our faculty, staff and students a decision has been made to shift the PharmD curriculum block back one week to start on Monday, March 23rd and end on Friday, May 15th. In addition, all core courses will be taught via distance instruction via Zoom technology. Course IORs are preparing new course schedules with the new dates. Laboratory courses are being adjusted to either allow some activities via Zoom or to bring students in in small groups. Because the elective courses have small enrollments, they can continue to be taught in person and students can spread out around the room.
Graduate students – courses will remain on the extended break through April 5th. Graduate students should check with their advisor regarding any completion requirements outside the classroom, such as thesis defense, comprehensive examinations, or dissertation defense. Student completing research should reach out to faculty researchers regarding research efforts during this time.
Undergraduate course (PHRM 105) - course will remain on the extended break through April 5th and then resume via distance delivery on April 7th.
If your site is no longer allowing students, please contact Dr. Hunter at tshunter@salud.unm.edu . The Experiential Office and the College are working tirelessly to find replacement rotations for students.
We ask that as the semester continues to please keep up with any online professional documentation that you can complete such as your HIPAA trainings. We understand there will be barriers to completing other types of professional documentation such as your immunizations and certifications and ask that you do not stress clinical sites trying to update medical professional documentation at this time.
At this time, all College of Pharmacy offices will be operating remotely. Please use the following email addresses to submit any needed paperwork:
